    The 3rd Annual Philadelphia Undy 5000 5K run will be held on Saturday, September 11 to help bring greater awareness to colon cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. All participants are urged to wear briefs, boxers or undies to help raise awareness of colon cancer. All participants will receive a pair of race day boxers! The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA), a national patient advocacy organization dedicated to ending the suffering caused by colon cancer, will host the event. The Undy 5000 is held in different cities across the country throughout the year. The goal of the event is to educate the public about colon cancer, promote screenings, and get people talking about this deadly, but preventable, disease. This event also raises much needed funds to support and build the CCA’s national and local patient support and innovative public awareness programs. A percentage of the local proceeds will go to the Jefferson University Hospitals to promote screenings and colon cancer research.
